Girls Can Boys Can Community Partner Project Lead

Level: 6.1

Salary: $108,969 per annum/pro rata

Status: Permanent Full Time

The Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention Programs (FVPP) approach is underpinned by the Northern Territory's Domestic, Family & Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018–2028: Safe, Respected, and Free from Violence and the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–2022. These frameworks guide our work in addressing Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) among Aboriginal community members residing in the Alice Springs Town Camps.

FVPP is an integrated program supporting men, women, young people, and children impacted by DFSV. It includes prevention and intervention work, a Men's Behaviour Change Program, the Tangentyere Women's Family Safety Group, and the Young Women's Family Safety Group.

The Girls Can Boys Can Community Partner Project Lead will coordinate the expansion of the Girls Can Boys Can program through a community-led and project advisory approach. This will involve developing culturally safe resources and delivering training and workshops to early childhood educators, children, and families across Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and the Town Camps.

The successful candidate will have completed tertiary studies in Education, Social Work, Youth Work, Community Development, or a related discipline, and/or have relevant experience working alongside communities to deliver and develop primary prevention and education projects. Having a strong understanding of DFSV is desirable, however training can be provided to the right candidate.

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills who is committed to reducing violence against women and children and supporting young people to engage in safe and respectful relationships.

As part of your role, you will be working with children, people with a disability and people who are vulnerable. It is your obligation to always ensure their safety and report any concerns in line with our duty of care obligations. We have zero tolerance when it comes to abuse of any kind and will take disciplinary action, including and up to termination of employment, should we determine that abuse has taken place or there has been a failure to report any suspected or alleged abuse.
